“The management of the works, that has recently been taken from Firtas’ control, wanted to spend 34 million UAH on pipes purchase. But they’ve forgotten to point out the cost of a unit in the tender documentation. That’s one of the classical schemes to hide machinations during state purchases”, said the center chairman of the board Vitaly Shabunin.

Moreover the customer hasn’t revealed the report on the purchase.

The activists have addressed the State Finance Inspection, which has found a number of violations, and recommended to cancel the agreement.

Despite the deal being cancelled, the activists have also applied to the State Property Fund to punish the officials who have conducted the tender. (Ukrainian metal)
